Solution 1Recommended

Sign Out, Restart, and Restore Your Subscription

Refreshing your account session and manually triggering a purchase restoration usually forces the app to sync with your active subscription status.

This recurring prompt usually happens when the application cache fails to sync your restored purchases or when the app briefly loses connection to the subscription server. Performing a clean login cycle will typically resolve the authentication mismatch.

1
Sign out of the mobile app

Open Acrobat Reader Mobile, tap on your profile icon in the top corner, and select the option to sign out of your current account.

2
Restart your mobile device

Power off your smartphone or tablet completely, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on to clear any temporary application cache.

3
Sign back in with the correct account

Launch the Acrobat app again and sign in. It is crucial to use the exact account linked to the Acrobat Premium subscription.

4
Restore your app subscription

Navigate to the app's settings or subscription menu and tap on 'Restore Purchases' or 'Restore Subscription' to refresh your billing status.

5
Verify your system Apple ID (iOS only)

If you are using an iPhone or iPad, go to your iOS device Settings and ensure the Apple ID signed into the device matches the one used for the original app store purchase.

Open the application, navigate to your profile or settings menu, and look for a 'Restore Purchases' button. Ensure that the Apple ID logged into your iPhone or iPad is the same one used to buy the subscription.

Can I use my premium mobile subscription on multiple devices?

Yes, you can use your premium features on other mobile devices by signing in with the exact same Adobe ID, Apple ID, or Google account that holds the active subscription.
